The Amanuensis: Automated Songwriting and Recording - an open-source project

[to_the_sun]

So I've got an open-source project I've been working on. I was wondering if there were any musicians might like to try it out and give me feedback. Beta test it, as it were. Also if anyone knows their Max/MSP and would like to get involved in development, let me know.

> The Amanuensis is an automated songwriting and recording system aimed at ridding the process of anything left-brained, so one need never leave a creative, spontaneous and improvisational state of mind, from the inception of the song until its final master. The program will construct a cohesive song structure, using the best of what you give it, looping around you and growing in real-time as you play. All you have to do is jam and fully written songs will flow out behind you on a daily basis.

The others listed in the README in the Github link above.

I believe the 'left brain' 'right brain' thing has been debunked.

whatever. It's a figure of speech.

I don't have Max, nor would I like to install it atm. Did you say that you might be able to provide a standalone verions?
~Thanks!

If you have any questions at all, please ask! If you can't figure something out, follow those tutorials and/or get a hold of me.

I’m in the process of moving to a new computer and haven’t reinstalled MaxMSP yet. The project sounds intriguing though, and I’ll check it out as soon as possible.
